It’s summertime, and that means grilling, but this recipe is all about using leftover braised ribs to create sliders. The ribs were made by my brother, who never writes anything down, but they were so good I had to share this idea. The sliders are served on tiny jalapeno cheddar...

    Yes, you can use store-bought corn muffins, but the jalapeno cheddar ones add a unique flavor to the sliders.
